INSTRUCTIONS

• 1. Determine the original thread size of the old oil pan plug by measuring the diameter of the old oil pan plug


• 2. Select the next size sump plug. Example: The diameter of the original plug is 12mm, and a plug with a size of 13mm is used.


• Try using the same pitch and compare the pitch of the old plug to the proper thread. For example: the original thread 1.25 uses a thread with a plug of 13mm x 1.25


• 3. Fill the threads of the plug with clean shaft/bearing grease


• 4. Use a suitable drive head to screw the threads into the oil pan


• 5. Once you start trimming the screw holes, continue to turn clockwise to slowly cut the thread with a motion turn and reverse (counter-clockwise) 1/4, this will help give a good full thread.


• 6. After cutting, remove the faucet and clean it.


• 7. Pour oil into the engine and plug the oil pan to flush out any metal debris that may have fallen into the engine.


• 8. Install a suitable new oil pan plug and copper gasket and torque the vehicle
